Show THE ZEPHYR/DECEMBER 2003-JANUARY 2004 CAROL CONTEMPLATES COWS The Bovine Interpretations of Utah Artist CAROL VANSTEETER WENDY'S COW.....16 x 20 SISTERS..18 x J6 HIDDEN ARCHITECTURE.....16 x 20 HOUSES in the FIELDS They're growing houses in the fields between the towns, and the Starlight drive-in movie's closing down The road is gone to the way it was before..And the spaces won't be spaces anymore. Two more farms were broken by the drought...First the Wagners now the Fullers are pulling out. Developers paid better than the corn...But this was not the place where they were born. There's houses in the fields...No prayers for steady rain this year Houses in the fields... There's houses in the fields And the last few farms are growing out of here At first he wouldn't sell and then he would...Now they'll be children playing where the silo stood The word came from the marrow of his bones...it was the last sure way to pay off all his loans. The new streets will be named for kings and queens...And a ransom will be paid for every castle's dream The model sign is crested with a lion...And the farmers they will have enough to die on I guess no one should be afraid of change...But tell me why there is a fence for every open range It's a sign I'm getting on in the years...When nothing new is welcome to these eyes and ears.
